Brookly City Councilman - Charles Barron
Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron vowed yesterday he'd take care of African-Americans - "unapologetically" - if he were elected borough president.
"Am I going to be a borough president for all the people? Absolutely," the former Black Panther said. "But I'm letting y'all know now, I'm taking care of black folk. Unapologetically."
Barron stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Rev. Al Sharpton and retired NYPD Sgt. Noel Leader, a co-founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, as he announced his bid for beep to supporters on the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall.
Barron - who represents Brownsville and East New York - said he wanted to abolish mayoral control of schools, maintain affordable housing and improve health care accessibility.
